Hey all,

In a nutshell, I'm trying to accomplish the following:

# config.ini
include default.ini

user_name = "Marshall"  # Change value within default.ini
list_of_items = ["apple", "ball", "cup"]

[download]

However, what I wind up with are 2 scalars:

{
  'user_name' => 'Marshall',
  'list_of_items' => '["apple", "ball", "cup"]'
}

[download]

I've tried so many different settings. The above generated with:

ParseConfig( -ConfigFile => 'simple.ini',
             -UseApacheInclude      => 1,
             -MergeDuplicateOptions => 1 );

[download]

So, I need some advice. I've even tried to use blocks to hold arrays, but nothing seems to work.

Config::General::Version = '2.63'

In reply to Config::General to read both scalars and arrays by The_Marshall
